Neuroscience

The departments of biology and psychology collaboratively offer the interdisciplinary major in Neuroscience to allow students to explore the intersection of psychology and biology. Successful completion of the Neuroscience major leads to a B.S. degree and also fulfills the CLA Additional Depth of Understanding requirement. Courses in this major require students to explore neuroscience from the cellular, systems, and behavioral levels. The required courses will also foster skills in critical thinking, science, writing, research, and oral communication. The program will help prepare students who plan to pursue a graduate program in neuroscience or related programs, a health-related profession, or a career in science education.
